Words For Kids From A to Z

 Here you’ll find a list of words for kids.

 

If your little one has mastered letters and letter sounds, you’re in the right place. It’s time for words. Don’t worry if you don’t know where to begin, I’m betting you toddler has already begun to learn the words he or she is hearing every day.

 

You see, one day I was watering the plants around my house and thinking I was finished when my toddler walked up to me and asked if I had watered the snake plant in her room. I hadn’t, perhaps that’s why it is wilting – poor thing.

 

I watered the plant but I had got some water on the floor. My daughter noticed the droplets slowly disappeared into the carpet. No biggie… but she said, “mommy it absorbed”.

 

Absorbed? When had she learned this big girl word? Apparently, my husband taught her absorbed and evaporation during an outdoor adventure they’d had.

 

So…

 

Although this is a list of common and easy words for kids and early readers, remember children are open to learning almost everything we present them – even big words like absorb. In fact, according to the Mayo Clinic, children can grasp as many as 1000 words by the age of two. It’s Amazing!
